6248 - Dream a little dream


It's funny what pops into your head when reading comments. Cloudia mentioned dreaming yesterday and 'Dream a little dream with me' popped in. I couldn't remember exactly what it was from but the google knew.


This fits right in with Bilbo's mention of Broderick Crawford yesterday.

That song is one of my karaoke favorites. Oh, I don't go to karaoke bars... I put it on a CD in my car and belt it out while I'm driving. Also, I don't look like Doris Day. Haha... I resemble Mama Cass a LOT more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0PZRYin2s

Doris Day had such a lovely voice!

The first artist that came to my mind for the song was Mama Cass, but thank you for introducing me to an earlier version.

I only knew the Cass Elliot version (Mama and Pappas)
I did not know hers was a cover.

I also only knew the Cass Elliot version, so this is a welcome surprise.

It goes waaaaay back. Ella Fitzgerald sang it, so did quite a few others. And it was first recorded back in 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra. Song's been around awhile!

Tell me about the Unix timestamp.

A Unix timestamp is a way of representing time in computers. It's based on the number of seconds that have passed since a specific point in time, called the Unix Epoch. The Unix Epoch is set to January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

So, a Unix timestamp is simply a number that tells you how many seconds have elapsed since that exact moment. For example, as of right now (June 28, 2024), the Unix timestamp would be a very large number representing billions of seconds.

Here are some key things to know about Unix timestamps:

They are machine-readable and easy for computers to process.
They are consistent across different time zones, because they are based on UTC.
They are often used for storing timestamps in databases and file systems.
While seconds are the most common unit, timestamps can also be stored in milliseconds or even nanoseconds for higher precision.
There are also some limitations to Unix timestamps. For instance, they don't directly tell you the date and time in a human-readable format. You would need to convert the timestamp back to a calendar date and time for most people to understand it.
